About this fabric

This substantial 581 gsm fabric has a compact woven structure that reads clearly in the swatch, with alternating cream and cinnabar threads forming a small herringbone-like chevron effect. The cinnabar shade is warm and earthy rather than bright red, while the cream flecks soften the overall depth and give the surface gentle visual movement. With a useable width of 140 cm, it is well suited to tailored upholstery where the dense weave can be appreciated across a larger area. The pattern repeats over 0.6 cm vertically and 1.1 cm horizontally, creating a restrained, finely scaled texture rather than a bold graphic motif.

How to use it

Use Zalika Cinnabar on a statement armchair, dining seat or compact sofa to introduce a grounded terracotta accent. Pair its cream detailing with warm ivory, timber and aged brass, or balance the heat with muted olive and soft taupe.

The dense cinnabar-and-cream weave brings warm, tailored colour to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Zalika Cinnabar without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
